Playoff

Playoff Informática, established in 2006 by CEO Rubèn Celada, provides specialized online applications for organizations. The company initially focused on bringing new technologies to the sports sector, developing an intuitive application to improve the organizational management of sports federations. This early work, in close collaboration with federations, allowed the company to gain deep insights into the daily management needs of both federations and their affiliated clubs. Recognizing a broader need for digital transformation, the company expanded its scope. In 2014, it launched a new, more versatile application designed for a wider range of entities, including sports clubs, associations, academies, and professional groups—any organization requiring management of a member database and fee collection. This platform has become its most popular offering and has been instrumental in the company's growth. A significant milestone was reached in 2022, when the company surpassed 1,000 entities using its application daily.

The business operates on a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, providing a cloud-based, all-in-one management solution accessible via a web browser without needing local installation. This ensures clients always have access to the latest version with data securely hosted in the cloud. The platform centralizes key administrative functions, offering modules for managing member databases, online registrations, recurring fee payments, event ticket sales, and facility reservations. It also includes communication tools for sending mass emails, SMS messages, and push notifications, as well as features for creating surveys and votes to engage members. Clients are varied, ranging from sports federations and clubs to professional associations and academies. For members of these organizations, Playoff offers a mobile app and a web portal to view their data, access membership cards, and interact with their entity. This comprehensive suite of tools helps organizations become more efficient, enhance their digital presence, and improve service delivery to their members.
